Job 8:1-9:19
We read
the words of Bildad. He speaks as a ‘know-it-all’. He sees what has
happened to Job, and he thinks, ‘Job must have forgotten God’. He fails
to see that Job has not forgotten God. Help us, Lord, to see that bad things
can and do happen to people who love You as well as people who don’t
love You. When things are going badly, help us, Lord, to remember
Your long-term purpose. You’re preparing us for ‘eternal life’ (Matthew
19:29). Help us to look beyond our sufferings. They are ‘slight and
short-lived’. Help us to look ahead to the ‘eternal glory that is
greater than anything we can imagine’ (2 Corinthians 4:17).
